LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student
1. can recognise intelligent vehicle functions, ranging from non-autonomous to fully autonomous systems.
2. can design, simulate and implement autonomous vehicle localisation, mapping and navigation.
3. can perceive an intelligent vehicle system as a sum of subsystems and study their functionalities.
4. can work in a team that designs the control and analyses a autonomous miniature vehicle.
5. can evaluate and compare different autonomous vehicle control and performance, including the comparison of own design to scientific state-of-the-art.
